@joereid Well, I had to argue a bit. Or they really misunderstood me. Anyway, I'll get the refund
Technical support is soon to go 24/7 at Online.net!
is the deal gone
yeah, few days ago...
It might be back one day though...
Anyone managed to get Plex working properly on these? Can it stream Full HD or is the CPU just too weak?
CPU is too weak but if your output device support direct stream it will still work.
Doesn't happen with my 15.99 server with them though
Maybe their thinking is perhaps the customer is cancelling because the 1.99EUR server doesn't fit their needs and they can perhaps sell the client some of their other services.
How do I see if a device supports direct stream? Thx
If you wanted windows just use one of joodle's templates.
It would depend on the device you are using to watch from your Plex server and what format the files you have on the Plex server are encoded in.
Hmmm. I just tested with my Roku and seems fine. Guess its ok if i'm not needing to use on iOS or some other device that needs to modify size / format.
I direct play from my Kimsufi to my Roku all the time. Works great. Also my KS1 is powerful enough to transcode from older SD videos. Not sure about the online.net box.
I would expect it could probably manage to transcode at least one stream, I've managed to get 6 simultaneous trasncoded streams running at the same time on the KS-1 N2800.
Going by it's CPU benchmark result the Via Nano U2250 is half as powerful as an N2800.
That's probably just due to the N2800 being dual-core (+HT), and the test being multi-threaded.
One core of Nano should be about the same performance as one core of Atom.
It also depends on format and compression. I am sure it can handle 640x480 without issues.
My KS3 (i3) chokes on some content, especially if it has to downgrade quality to 720p for my hacked AppleTV. If you're able to direct stream, all it's doing is swapping the container in real time, so it's not that intensive.
I need to find the perfect format & quality, but between the number of devices I have, I'm not sure that's possible (AppleTV, Chromecast (x2), iOS + Android).
I have a KS3 and was wondering about the transcoding stuff myself. I've never used Plex before. I would be streaming to two laptops and maybe an Xbox 360. I definitely need to look into this some more. The 360 belongs to a friend and I'm not sure if it can direct play or not. Is there a perfect format/quality for streaming to the devices I mentioned?
how?!
Dunno, just worked! I staggered the starts which I think helps, as the biggest chunk of transcoding seems to be up front. I was trying to simulate real user behaviour rather than just seeing what it would take to cause everything to fall over.
Not really, but it takes some time to get a hold of format, codecs, fill buffers, allocate memory, this makes it slow at start.
would anyone happen to have a windows image with virtio drivers included?
Yes PM me.
may i get this template too?
Ill send it to you guys first thing in the morning, its 03:41am here!.
PM me aswell.
I thought these 1.99euro servers were back.
Could you please send to me also
If needed so i can send you guys Windows 7 with VirtIO ISO
Looking if someone has made a tar.gz image to get rid of installation.
Win7 with VirtIO drivers available here: http://blog.shade.sh/index.php/archive/1453
